Bleier Larry P DMD

I have been a patient of Dr. Larry Bleier for nearly twenty five years. Mine was a rather serious and complicated case which, over the years resulted in a number of surgeries and close ongoing care. I must say that, without Dr. Bleier’s interventions and good work, I would have likely lost my teeth and my full bridge. All along the path of intervention and care, this top of the line professional did, in my view, first class work with every surgery and each necessary visit. I know that many periodontists seek to move patients quickly to implants, which are expensive, though fairly profitable for the the dental office. However, Dr. Bleier, in my case and with others, puts a priority on saving teeth. He is a master at oral surgery and is up to date on the most recent validated research in periodontal care. His background is impressive and he takes the time to let you know what he is doing and the rationale for his actions.
I have always found his office to be professional, inviting and focused on the patients’ needs. Hygienists who I have experienced at the office over the years have always been professional and personable. They are held to high standards and learn much more through their experience there. LInda, the office manager, in my view, is the positive cohesive force that keeps the professionalism on track and the office running smoothly. A great person. Lisa, at the front desk, is professional and welcoming each and every time.
I read the previous review with some dismay, as my experiences were so very different and positive. I highly recommend Dr. Bleier and his office to anyone in need of quality periodontal care.

The best part of my this practice were the hygienists. They showed passion in their work and did a decent job. Outside of that I was very disappointed in my experience with Dr Bleier ! He was in my network which is what prompted me to use him. In the end of the day the charges including $ 120 to show me how to brush my teeth, $ 480 for antibiotic powder etc I could have went to someone outside of my network for the same price. I was told the hygienist would work on my teeth one visit and Dr Bleier would alternate every other week. This did not happen. The first 4 visits I never saw the Dr? My 5^th visit was with Dr Bleier. He did almost no work and spent the majority of our time telling my how dentists over charge for unnessasary work. After that visit I decided to call the office to let them know I am done with my treatment. This resulted in a full court press to have me come back. Dr Bleier got on the phone and did his best to persuade me to come back in. He said most people need to come back several times for best results. I reminded him I was there 5 times. He seemed to have no clue? He said he wanted to do a scaling himself and walk me through my teeth to show me what’s going on. Since he seemed to feel it was so important I agreed to return. When I did this time the desk woman asked me to pay upfront vs after the visit ?? The Dr spent 15 minutes selling me on further things I can have done. He did no scaling whatsoever? Once I told him I am not interested in further treatments the visit was over. fifteen minutes. It was quite obvious why they had me pay in advance !! I could have told him off, gotten mad for wasting my time and money. I chose to leave without doing so and write my honest review. I only wish there were other reviews I could have read prior to choosing his office. I am sure there are much worse out their. However I am positive there are many, many that are much better !!! If I had this to do over 100% I would go elsewhere !
